    SunSoont SST-MTG8T4XS 12 Port 10G Web Managed Switch

    They look identical, so it's probably safe to assume they are both the same unit, even if nobody posts PCB photos. :)

    Ruckus/Commscope/Brocade Critical Unpatched Vulnerabilities?

    And you are very pessimistic about how hard they tried. Then don't rely on a web form. Even if you do, provide an email address and a PGP key or something as an option. There, problem solved! :) Security is important enough that you can have a simple fallback. I don't expect people to write...

    The Infamous Mikrotik CRS354-48P-4S+2Q+ Thread

    There is a whole thread discussing them: https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/10gb-sfp-rj45-100m.45817/ I have the ZYOPM 100 meter one, and the XICOM 80 meter one. Note that you have to pick the correct one in the listing. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008504978560.html...

    Ruckus/Commscope/Brocade Critical Unpatched Vulnerabilities?

    An enterprise vendor such as Ruckus should really have a dedicated way to contact them about security vulnerabilities, contact details that should be easy to find. The researchers shouldn't have to be insistent, and should not have to provide any vulnerability details to either support or sales...

    Ruckus/Commscope/Brocade Critical Unpatched Vulnerabilities?

    It was mentioned here. :) I agree that it's bad that they haven't patched them yet. Some of them are things that other vendors have gotten flack for years ago, so it's kind of surprising that they didn't learn from that.

    The Infamous Mikrotik CRS354-48P-4S+2Q+ Thread

    The older ones are still being sold because they are cheaper. It's only in the last year or so that the 80 and 100 meter ones have become available for a reasonable price. As an example, I paid roughly €120-130 each for 100 meter ones from Flexoptix. More recently, I managed to buy a 100 meter...

    They still sell 30 meter ones so the fact that they were new doesn't tell us much unfortunately. :)

    The Infamous Mikrotik CRS354-48P-4S+2Q+ Thread

    Are you using one of the old 10GBASE-T transceivers rated for only 30 meters? Those are known to get "burning your fingers" hot. The newer ones rated for 80 or 100 meters still get hot, but much less so due to their lower power consumption.

    10G Router CWWK/Topton/Qotom and further

    6 x Ethernet and 2 x SFP+? I doubt it. Alder Lake-N (and its successor in the N series) processors are very limited in terms of PCI-E bandwidth (just 9 PCI-E 3.0 lanes). Why do you even need 6 x Ethernet ports? I haven't benchmarked the N100 for routing, but I would expect it to handle it just...

    1U 9.5 Inch Rack-mounted Mini PC Intel N100, anyone got any of these?

    Yes, it works for me too. Sometimes AliExpress listings can be region locked though, which is something I only found out earlier this year. :) For anyone wondering, the first unit is listed by KingNovy.

    10G Router CWWK/Topton/Qotom and further

    Yeah, FreeBSD has subpar NIC driver support, so an Intel NIC is a better option in that case. :)

    10G Router CWWK/Topton/Qotom and further

    The one with dual X710 SFP+ interface is interesting. I already bought the one with dual Aquantia NICs a couple of months ago though, when an SFP+ version wasn't available. If you want energy efficient 10GBASE-T, Intel isn't really your best bet.

    10Gb SFP+ RJ45 100m

    Yes, it's a design flaw with that particular Ubiquiti transceiver as far as I know.

    Qotom Q10922H6 - Fanless N100, 2x10GbE, 4x2.5GbE

    I've spoken to them over email, Alibaba chat and AliExpress chat. I haven't tried the chat on their website, but I would assume that works too. :)

    Mellanox Switches - Tips & Tricks

    I kind of doubt it. I don't think he flashed OpenWrt on it to use it as a router. It was presumably only a way to get switch functionality with an up-to-date software stack. :)

    Qotom Q10922H6 - Fanless N100, 2x10GbE, 4x2.5GbE

    I would try asking Qotom. They've responded fairly quickly to me (taking time zones into account). :)

    It's true that the latest official (outdated) Windows build of iperf3 performs poorly. Later unofficial builds work much better. :)

    Network options and recommendations

    If you're using SMB, make sure to use modern versions of it. TrueNAS should have a recent version of Samba so SMB v3 should be doable, but you might have to configure the minimum allowed SMB version. What OS is your desktop running? If on Windows, the transfer might be single threaded unless...

    How are things connected to each other? Any vlan configuration? Any particular switch features enabled?

    Qotom Denverton fanless system with 4 SFP+

    Ah yes, I went by the core numbering but didn't think about things such as hyperthreading. :D Sadly, the written STH review of that unit doesn't show temperature readings. I haven't checked the video, so that might be worth doing. :)
